AlphaGo resigns

The result "W:Resign" was added to the game information.

Edit: Tinyyy is right.




According to this picture[1], it is more likely "W+Resign". I'm curious why a plus sign is used instead of a colon!

In go results are Color+amount of points, when counted. So the plus is then left for uniformity in resigns/forfeits


Likely they're using SGF format to store game records:

Bad google+ joke withheld.


I think it reads W:Resign


No, it's "The result “W+Resign” was added to the game information"

Usually the nomenclature is "W+Resign"


"White wins by resignation".
